维权网《中国大陆在押政治犯、良心犯月度报告（2026年8月31日）第131期（共1638人）》, mirrored in English and Chinese. Lists 赵秀娟 / “Zhao Xiujuan” in the “sentenced to seven years” band.

Source grade: monitoring organization; single-source roster fact.
Source conflicts and limitations
The evidence base is three brief Minghui notices plus the Issue 131 roster. The charge, the court that tried her, and the precise sentencing date are not stated in any located source — only the December 3, 2020 confirmation of the seven-year sentence. No PRC official source on the case was found. Her husband’s reported name (刘佘红) comes from EN-romanization reporting; the characters are not independently confirmed in a Chinese source. No release has been reported. Wrong-person evidence preserved: a Minghui June 2016 notice reports a “Ms. Zhao Xiujuan” arrested with Tang Xiuxia and Wang Hongying in Kangping County, Shenyang, Liaoning — different province, year, and co-detainees — treated as a distinct same-name person; do not merge.
